We’re looking forward to you joining us for Co:Lab 2026
Co:Lab 2026 is set to be our biggest year yet - with new features, more space and more opportunity to network and engage with the sector.
Habourside Function Centre, Wellington
4 Taranaki Street, Wellington
Co:Lab 2026 will be held in the iconic Wellington wharf warehouse known formerly as Shed 22. What used to house wool, wood and flax in one of its working lives, and now a brewery and function space, this New York loft feel venue gives a relaxed vibe to this face-to-face meeting. It is also a perfect location to access almost anything in Wellington including the waterfront bars and surrounding cafes.
